The Universal Peace Union Protest
ing

PHILADELPHIA, PA, February 81
The Executive Committee of the Uni
versal Peace Union, which has been in
session here for three days, has sent a
communication to Congress protesting
against the appropriation of large sums
for coast defense on the ground that
they are being urged chiefly by per-
sons interested in the contracts for
construction of ordnance, etc. d; that
history shows the despotic oppression
of the citizen to be the invarisble re-
suit of powerful war establishments /;
that the established policy Of this gov
eminent in keeping clear Of entsn-
Cling alliances render a foreign war
exceedingly improbable; that the plan
of international arbitration further re-
moves the danger, and that the ma
ton, being founded on principles OF
equity, no excuse remains for the
pending legislation.

While Texas WAS still province of the

Government an immense grant of
land, consisting of 60,000,0.0 acres,
known as the Arkansas Grant, situated
in what are now the States OF Texas,
Colorado and the Territory OF New
Mexico Just then the war OF Texas
independence broke out and Dr. Beales
found 1t impossible to establish his
colony. This grant was renewed, how
ever, and the treaty Of Gusdaloupe

to carry out his plan Of forming a
colony he died and the grant passed
to his minor children. They did not,
however, appreciate the value of the
land, and no part of it has ever been
sold. Now company of American
capitalists, Rufus Hatch being among
the number, have obtained the title

THE DAUNTLESS
Loses Her Main Jib ia n Terrific
Gale.

SANDY Hook, N. j., February 2s.-
The yacht Cauntlese, which is to have
a transatlantic rsce with the yacht
Coronet, while on her trial trip today,
and when south of the highlands and
off Monmouth beach, blew away her
main iib, but set another when off the
Hook. There was a heavy sea and a
westerly gale, the velocity OF which
was sometimes as high as sixty miles
per hour, while equally puffs resched
a still higher velocity. The DAuntless,
however, seemed to do remarkably
well, with both her top masts housed,
end under close reefed fore and main
sails, fore stayssil and jib. At $3.50
o'clock pm. she tried to pass in by the
Hook, but the wind and ebb tide
were too much for her and she went
outside again. The Dsuntless came
to anchor of the Highlands at $40
o'clock pm.

The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal
catarrh must be non-irritating, essy of

the past few years obliges us to admit
that only one remedy has completely
